The McMaster School for Advancing Humanity was founded to serve as a focal point for
teaching, service, scholarship, and action to improve the human condition worldwide.

The mission of the McMaster School:

to educate students for responsible citizenship;

to produce committed global citizens and leaders who understand the importance of
individual liberties in improving the human condition worldwide; and

to encourage graduates to take an active role in addressing these issues in whatever
professions they may choose.

The School serves as a catalyst for innovative, interdisciplinary, community-based
work by creating and supporting opportunities for teams of faculty, students, and
staff to use their academic and professional skills to address community needs.
